Talk:Target market

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Target marketing can be used for many different fields in business. Marking in general is considerable to how you can sell a product to a certain type of people, in categories such as what kind of people they are. Don't you remeber when you were in high school and you had different crowds its the same thing, But what group do you want to deal with or sell to. How could you market to one if you were a part of them, research them!! BY DJ of Ft. mYers


[edit] Merge with Target Audience

Target Market and Target Audience are not necessarily the same thing. Target Market is a very specific business term. Target audience is a less specific media term.

A Target Market covers the specific segment of people that a company wants to market a product or service, or group of products and/or services. This group is chosen by demographic, psychographic, and various other means. An example of a target market might be described as, "A college-educated woman living in the southeast United States. A working mother of 2 or 3, a homeowner, with a middle-class income and lifestyle, who has aspirations for a higher lifestyle."

A Target Audience is the specific demographic segment for media, whether that be advertising, a television show, or a motion picture. A target audience might be described as, "Middle class teenage girls between 13 and 18." Far less specific, and not necessarily the same thing.


Alternatively, "Target Market" is more likely to be what people are searching on. Danny Kettle has his own solar system. The term applies more widely than to media terms. This term will more likely be referenced by people looking for information in a general Marketing context than by people looking for media specific context.

Cross reference the two seems like a better solution


[edit] Vandalism?

Under "rewrite", there is a text box that says "flobby doo daa". I'm pretty sure this is vandalism, so I will remove it.

I removed the word "penis" from the related articles section, hilarious though the author undoubtedly found it
